A “slice” in Apache Superset refers to a single visualization or chart created from a dataset. It is the basic building block for constructing dashboards, which are collections of slices organized and displayed together. Slices enable users to explore data, create visualizations, and customize their appearance by applying filters, aggregations, and other configurations.
To build a dashboard, users first create individual slices using Superset’s intuitive interface, selecting appropriate chart types and customizing them as needed. Once multiple slices are created, they can be added to a new or existing dashboard. Users can then arrange these slices within the dashboard layout, grouping related visualizations and adjusting their size and position for optimal readability.
Slices contribute significantly to the flexibility and functionality of Apache Superset dashboards. They allow users to analyze complex datasets through various visual representations, facilitating better understanding and decision-making based on the insights derived from the data.
